Black Bear Island Lake is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is a large, irregularly shaped lake along the course of the Churchill River in the Canadian Shield. There are no communities along its shores and there is no road access. The lake is about 61 kilometres (38 mi) east-northeast from the village of Pinehouse. Towards the western end of the lake, near High Rock Narrows, there are Indigenous pictographs.

Much of the Churchill River, which flows west to east, is a series of interconnected lakes referred to as the Churchill River System. Black Bear Island Lake's inflow is from the adjoining Kinosaskaw Lake while its outflow is into Trout Lake. The outflow is marked by Birch Falls and Birch Portage.

There are two fly-in fishing outfitters on the lake — Black Bear Island Lodge and Pine Island Resort. There are also commercial guides and outfitters for canoe expeditions on the lake.

Route description

Highway 20 begins at Lumsden and Highway 11 in the Qu'Appelle Valley and follows the Qu'Appelle River north-east to Craven. At Craven, it turns north and follows Last Mountain Creek to Valeport Marsh, the southern end of Last Mountain Lake, and Last Mountain House Provincial Park. Near the park, Highway 20 intersects with Highway 322. Highway 322 heads north-west following the eastern shore of Lake Mountain Lake while Highway 20 heads north past Gibbs to Bulyea and the intersection with Highway 220. Highway 220 heads west to Last Mountain Lake and Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park. From Bulyea, Highway 20 heads north-northwest to Strasbourg and Duval. After Duval, it resumes its northerly routing passing by the communities of Cymric, Govan, Hatfield, Nokomis, Lockwood, and Drake en route to Highway 16 and Lanigan. From there, Highway 20 begins a 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) long concurrency with Highway 16 that runs west of Lanigan towards Guernsey. Less than 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) before Gurnsey, Highway 20 leaves the concurrency with 16 and resumes its northerly routing.

From Highway 16, Highway 20 heads north towards Humbolt. Along this stretch, the highway provides access to Burr and Bay Trail and skirts around the western shore of Humbolt Lake. In Humbolt, Highway 20 intersects Highway 5 then continues north-northwest to its northern terminus at Highway 3, just east of Birch Hills. Along this final leg, the highway provides access to the communities of Fulda, Pilger, Middle Lake, Saint Benedict, Tarnopol, and Crystal Springs; intersects Highways 756, 669, 777, 41, 320, and 778; and passes by the lakes of Burton, Deadmoose, Houghton, Lucien Lake, Basin, Dixon, and Jumping. Lucien Lake is home to Lucien Lake Regional Park and Basin Lake is part of the Basin and Middle Lakes Migratory Bird Sanctuary.
